Getting In
Approach from the rear, and get as close to the seat as
possible (Figure 34). However, do not get so close so that
the chair you are sitting on
blocks the swing up of
the rear seat pad. One
option is to have the rear
seat pad rest on top of the
chair seat and in - between
the user s legs. This allows
the Gait Master to be
closer to the chair, and will
not hinder the swing up
of the pad.
The seat the user is in must be FIXED and not able to
move! For example, lock the wheels of a wheelchair. A
standard 4 - leged non -caster chair will also work.
The user may wish to
move toward the front of
the seat they are sitting in to
get closer to the Gait
Master , as this may assist
in the transfer (Figure 35).
Do not get so close to the
edge of the chair as to fall
off!
